What is the difference between an m16 and an m4a1?
Not really too much to tell. The M16 has a longer barrel, and the projectiles will leave the barrel with greater velocity for it. The M4 has the collapsible buttstock and 14.5 inch barrel, so it would be the easier of the two to utilise in urban terrain and such. The M16's longer gas system is the more reliable of the two, and the muzzle flash and noise of the M16 is reduced. The operating mechanism is the exact same, except that the M4 and M16 won't use the same return spring or buffer.
Which has a greater range m4 or m16?
The M16 assault rifle has a greater range than the M4 carbine as a result of its 20-inch barrel, compared with 14.5 for the M4. The M16 can hit an area target out to 800 meters while the M4 is effective to 600 meters.
